Main Characters: Paravailla Swami
The one who has actually directly experienced his oneness with the Supreme is called a Realised saint. Though he lives amongst us he operates from a different realm altogether which we cannot even visualise from our present level of individuality. Such a person remains unaffected by joysand sorrow, pain and pleasure, honour and dishonour. He is thus liberated even while living, a jivan-mukta. When his body ceases at the end of its physical tenure, he is no more reborn, since the cause for rebirth, which is ignorance, is absent in him.
